Comment(by arma):

 So when some component changes, somebody edits the versions.mk file by
 hand?

 That isn't going to work for people who don't like text editors, or when
 lots of things change. Maybe there should be a script to take a bunch of
 files and generate that file-with-hashes out of them? Then when there's a
 new thing, you fetch it, rerun the script, and commit the new file.

 And if the versions.mk file does other stuff too, then it may be wisest to
 keep the auto-generated stuff as a separate file.

 I guess it looks like versions.mk had versions in it before, not just
 hashes, so the problem I describe here might not be a new problem.
